Andersen Corporation buys Silver Line Building Products

Andersen Corp. has completed its acquisition of Silver Line Building Products Corp., one of the largest manufacturers of vinyl windows and patio doors in North America.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Bayport-based Andersen said it will operate Silver Line as a stand-alone subsidiary. Jim Humphrey, Andersen president and CEO, said in a statement that the purchase will expand the company's product line across a broader range of price points.

Andersen is the world's largest manufacturer of wood windows, patio doors, and storm doors.

New Brunswick, NJ-based Silver Line was a family-owned, private company. It will continue to be run by the founder's son, Kenneth Silverman.

Silver Line will keep its facilities in New Jersey, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Texas and Illinois.
